See my previous posts, I posted this link and also the one to the equivalent
thread on lilypond-user-fr (which also leans towards SVG).

I'm not super fond of this: as I said, Rust induces little difficulty
to (cross-)compile. Look at the PoC branch if you're interested, it's
straightforward. It's more a question of how the person running the
scripts sets up their environment, which we will need to care about
sooner or later if we start requiring librsvg.
